DvDx 2.1 and 2.2 cutting off early no errors?

hmmm would you happen to be doing NTSC ? try after you press the "whole" button to add a heap more to the vlaue it gives. so if it says 200k make it 220k and see what that does. oh and for vobs you should use the ifo so you are doing the whole movie in 1.

Yes I'm doing NTSC instead of PAL but in the US I thought that was standard/required on everything. I've tried adding more to the amount of frames like 220k instead of 200k same thing on every attempted video. The progress meter has squares about 70% or 80% of the way across and it seems to think it is complete but of course its not.

I'm running Windows 2003 which is media unfriendly from what I have seen thus far. Doesnt play AVI's still and wouldnt play DVD's without installing a third party codec/decoder. Well it played them upside down natively. Very disappointing release by Microsoft overall.

Using Vob files 

I prefer to rip the DvD to a single huge Vob with Smartripper then you can usually just rename the Vob file to Mpg instead of having to mess with IFO files.

ahh i see. well DVDx doesnt like files above about 4.3gb which your single merged vob no doubt is. let smartripper split the vobs and use the ifo as thats how DVDx was meant to be primarily used.
